Parental alienation is when a child has been ‘turned against’ one parent by the other. This most commonly occurs in cases of divorce.
It can be devastating for the child, parent, as well as other family members, and it can have a long-lasting impact on all involved.
Dealing with parental alienation can be complicated. Often, child therapists will need to be involved, as well as parental alienation lawyers.
If you think your child has been influenced or turned against you, our parental alienation lawyers can help you.
Our Team of Parental Alienation Lawyers
Parental alienation can be deliberate, though not always. It can take lots of forms, including:
- Making the child believe one parent doesn’t love them as much
- Making the child feel guilty for having contact with one parent
- Involving the child in adult matters/conversations inappropriately
- Making the child feel like they need to ‘choose sides’
Sometimes the behaviour change can be very subtle, so you might not notice it happening at first. However, it is important to tackle parental alienation as quickly as possible. The longer it continues the harder it becomes to resolve.
